What is PV1-F & H1Z2Z2-K?
H1Z2Z2-K supersedes the previous TÜV approved PV1-F cable. The H1Z2Z2-K standard sheathing has a thicker wall than the PV1-F cable version, and the voltage level is different, PV1-F voltage is 1000 V, H1Z2Z2-K voltage is 1500V.
What standards to look for in a Solar Cable?
There are 2 standards for PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K. The EN50618 is the standard for Europe, and IEC 62930, which stands for the international standard.
What Size are available?
Available in a wide range of cross-sections (mm2): 0.75, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95 and 120mm2
The most commonly used PV1-F or H1Z2Z2-K cable sizes are
4mm2 and 6mm2.
Color of Solar Cable?
Commonly available in Black and Red. In locations such as the Middle East where intense UV rays breaks down compounds in a Red Colored Cable. Preferred choice is Black for negative terminal and Black with Red strip for positive terminal.
